Be it known that I ANDREVTWITZAL, a citizen of the United States, .residing at Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have and useful Im rovements in CombinedShade- Brackets and owing is'a specification. This invention dow shade brackets and lace curtain fixtures, and one of the principalobjects of the same is to provide simple and eflicient means for supporting a lace curtain p'olefixture upon a window shade bracket, means being provided for supporting the fixture in a direct line with the body portion of the shade bracket.

Another ob'ect of the invention is to provide a shade racket with simplemeansfor attachment to angular socket for the end of the lace curtain ture.

Fig. 3 is a similar view ofthe lace curtain fixture detached from the bracket. Fig. 4 is a irorizontal sectional view on the line 4&4 of
